I'm personally tired of seeing all the former Patriots getting first class access. I agree we should have brought Hasty or Mark Collins in or Neil Smith 2 teach pass rushing moves instead of ol' Otis.(what a joke) Otis Smith is a joke,this guy was never a half-way decent player ever…u people are always defending Haley/Pioli decisions.

You mentioned it earlier when you said that the fear of losing your job is a great motivator for staying on the job. The same applies to Haley. His current job and future (lucrative) career depend on winning games. Cassel's contract has nothing to do with it. If he really thought Croyle gave them a better chance to win, he would play him. It's comical to think there's a conspiracy going on here. In addition, Haley had nothing to do with giving Cassel the $63 mil. Essentially you're suggesting that Pioli would rather hang onto his pride and forfeit a better chance of winning games...that sure doesn't seem consistent with his resume. You're trying to make Pioli and Haley into an Al Davis character...I'm not buying. Go sell your crazy in Oakland. Come on people (specifically Anonymous),

Are you saying that Croyles more than anemic performance in Ravens game (was there even a first down in the first half?) is evidence that he's the second coming of Rich Gannon? Seriously? I've tried to figure out what the Croyle backers see in him that everyone else misses and I can't. The only thing I can come up with is sympathy for the perpetually wounded underdog. Will Croyle stay in KC after his contract is up? Only if they still need a back-up. Will he be looking for a starting position elsewhere? Unless Peterson and Edwards get hooked up with an NFL team again, Croyle may as well rename himself Don Quixote if that's his goal. Wait. Stop. Hold on.

Is he going to work a miracle and win games with a crappy O-line and shoddy receiving corps? Nope, but I can't think of any QB who could really. Does he get reprieves, sure.
